London + Updates

Hi guys! So what happened to this blog?! I completely intended on blogging at least once a week, but here I am almost two months in with little actually shared! I’m sorry

Although I would love to write about my everyday experiences on a weekly basis, there just isn’t enough time! I am simply enjoying myself way too much.

Plus, midterms are this week. Which means, I actually have to study?? What a concept…

Recently, I’ve toured more of Barcelona (with my visiting older bro):

Olympic Stadium

Traveled to London:

It rained…a lot, a lot, a lot

such a ham

Buckingham Palace

Feasted at Hummus Bros (aka the best hummus restaurant of your life) 

Explored some more, as it rained on and off

St. James Park

Big Ben

Tower of London

And hit up Indian food on Brick Lane

We had so much fun! I’m such a cheese ball.

I’ll admit, London was far from what I expected…it was so beautiful, so white, so clean, but it was also very rainy and the bars closed at midnight. Um Londres, what’s that all about? Though I could not have been happier walking all around with those adorable English men by my side (with scarves and dress coats to match! I die).

Some recent highlights:

-I’ve found my signature drink! Vodka tonic + soda

-I’ve found an American boy to occupy the little free time I have

-I’ve become quite the chef over here–(vegetarian) Barcelona food is no bueno/very limited, so I practically cook all of my meals. Would love to share some soon!

And low(?)lights:

-I miss my family. My dog. Trader Joe’s. Extra spending money (ha!). Good customer service. And the lack of cigarette smoke.

-One of my roommates got her purse stolen this past weekend. Luckily, the pickpocketer was only able to snag her purse, notebook, credit cards, and about 30 euros. She’s fine though and everything has now been taken care of/replaced!

Besides those few negatives, I am having the most amazing time. I absolutely adore my roommates, my new friends, the city, our apartment location, the traveling, the list goes on…

I really, truly want to post on a more weekly basis, but of course–here is what I have coming up in March & April:

-Madrid

-The madre’s visiting!

-Florence

-San Sebastian

-Prague

-Greece aka SPRING BREAK

-Finals

-April 29th: Fly back to the states… cannot. believe. this.

Talk soon (I hope) !! Xo.
